The notion that we are in a retirement-funding crisis is well documented. John Bogle, the founder and retired CEO of Vanguard Investments has referred to our retirement system as a “train wreck” waiting to happen.

The ridiculous approach to retirement

Labor economist, Teresa Ghilarducci, has testified many times before Congress on the nature of what she refers to as “Our Ridiculous Approach to Retirement.”

Funding a 30 year retirement when that retirement is just around the corner is an impossible task. But it’s also not a hopeless one.

To stay at home…use your home

As Ghilarducci explains, we need to save 20 times our annual income (in some cases more) in financial assets to fund retirement. If you’re close to retirement that’s probably an impossible task without a winning lottery ticket. And Social Security won’t be enough to get us through the next 30 years.

The New Reverse Mortgage offer a variety of options that can be tailored to your individual needs. You can supplement your SSI with monthly payments for a set period or as long as you occupy your home, sort of a personal retirement paycheck.

The New Reverse Mortgage isn’t for everyone…but it could be!
